I'm pretty much a gunsmithing newbie. About all I have done is polishing the bolt face and ramp on my 1911 and rebuilding an AR-15, both very simple and straight forward.
I'd like to install an Optima 2000 sight on my old Kimber (marked Clackamas, OR) with fixed sights, but that darned sight won't budge when I hit it with a brass punch. I've removed the set screw in the top of the sight...
How do I proceed? I assume I need to apply heat, but I have never done that before. I do have a very small butane torch that I use for soldering, but I'll buy whatever tools I need.
